DRIVE TRAIN 4-17
SHIM ADJUSTMENT
BACKLASH
• Install the removed left and right side shims and differential
assembly.
• Assemble the gear case cover. (!4-14)
NOTE:
At this time, it is not necessary to apply a sealant to the mating
surface of the gear case. (!4-14)
Remove the oil filler cap and measure the backlash of the differ-
ential ring gear using the horizontal type dial gauge
1 and
proper size of wooden piece or plastic piece
2, as shown. Take
backlash readings at three places while turning the ring gear
slightly in each direction and securely holding the pinion gear.
Read the total backlash on the dial gauge.
Remove the dial gauge and turn the ring gear 120°, then mea-
sure the backlash. Repeat this procedure once more and com-
pare the difference of the three measurements.
If the backlash is not within specification, the shim must be
changed and the backlash should be re-checked until correct.
Refer to the chart at the right for the appropriate shim thickness.
* Backlash
Standard: 0.05 – 0.10 mm (0.0020 – 0.0040 in)
NOTE:
Adjust the backlash by referring to the chart at the right and
using the thickness of the removed shims as a guide.
If the backlash is too small, replace the right side shim(s) with a
thicker one.
If the backlash is too large, replace the right side shim(s) with a
thinner one.
If the right side shim was changed with a 0.10 mm thicker shim,
replace the left side shim with one that is 0.10 mm thinner.
